Brigham Young University (BYU) is located in Provo, Utah, USA. Provo is located south of Salt Lake City, Utah. It is run by the Church Educational System (CES), the educational arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Originally founded in 1875, it has grown from humble beginnings into the largest and one of the most elite private religious universities in the United States. The school offers Undergraduate and Graduate programs.

The CES also runs two other sister schools using the BYU name, however they are separate and independent schools.

1. Brigham Young University-Idaho (BYUI) is located in Rexburg, Idaho. Rexburg is a town of approx. 30,000 people in the Snake River Valley of eastern Idaho. Formerly known as Ricks College, named after its original founder Thomas E. Ricks. The school was founded in 1888. Ricks College was the largest private religious college in the USA but in 2001 transitioned to university status adopting the name Brigham Young University - Idaho, as a means to boost recognition and popularity of the church school. The school offers Undergraduate programs.

2. Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYUH), is located in Laie, Hawaii, USA. It was founded in 1955, and caters largely to students from Polynesia. The campus is famous for the Laie, Hawaii Temple and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Undergraduate programs are offered.

The CES also runs two other centers of learning.

1. BYU-Jerusalem Center is an offshoot of BYU, although BYU offers programs allowing students from the other church schools to also attend.

2. LDS Business College (LDSBC), founded in 1886. This is located in downtown Salt Lake City.
